I Simon Doe of Gardiner, in the County of Kennebec, District of Maine, State of Massachusetts, being a native citizen of the United States, and from reduced circumstances, being in need of assistance from my country for support, do on oath testify & declare that I served as a private in the army of the United States in the war of the Revolution. In the autumn of the year 1775 I marched with the militia from New-Market in the State of New Hampshire, to Cambridge in the State of Massachusetts, and there did duty for two months; at the expiration of that time, I enlisted at Cambridge for the term of twelve months, and I did duty for that term in a company which was successively commanded by Captain Sherman & Captain Robertson, in the Regiment successively commanded by Colonel Baldwin and Colonel Weston, of the Massachusetts Line. I was with the army and did duty, during the operations in the neighborhood of New York in the year 1776, and was twice engaged in skirmishes on the retreat to White Plains. I was discharged at Morristown, New Jersey, in the winter of 1776, '77. I returned home & in July of the latter year, I enlisted for two months, into a company commanded by Captain Gilmor, of what Regiment I do not recollect, of the New Hampshire Line. I did duty therein for that period, and was present, under the command of General Stark, at the Battle of Bennington, after which I went to Stillwater, but was not present at the capture of General Burgoyne's army, my term of service having expired. I never received any written discharge.
